one child that is just more difficult to raise than the other(s)? maybe they are stubborn ...or creative (at the worst possible times) ...or ask a million questions. you know it's going to serve them well as an adult, but you question them making it adulthood? :)

    it's the ones that DON'T cause problems that worry me! That means you aren't catching them at whatever they are up to!

    Mine make me crazy sometimes. Always asking questions. Getting excited over everything. Making deals to get what they want. CRAZY. I have so many new grey hairs. BUT - they will be good adults. I love them and when I have matching energy, it is wonderful that they are like that.

    of course, they are convinced that I do indeed have eyes in the back of my head and that every toy or thing that my husband "eats" comes of their ears.

    im an assistant preschool teacher. two days ago i was told "there will be a place in heaven for you" because I decided to try love as a new tactic with the "problem" child. needless to say playtime ended with the other teacher getting hit in the head with a doll house.

    I have a four year old that has the biggest personality that I have ever encountered. She's great, but boy does she try my patience at times.

    I have a two year old who asks "why" every thirty seconds...I finally just started answering "you tell me, why?"

    My kids ask a ton of questions, I took this to mean they were intelligent. What would you prefer, children who never ask questions, and blindly follow? I am here to raise them up to be responsible, strong men, and not lemmings.

    My daughter never stops talking and my son never stops moving. It's a toss-up.

    I do, kind of. My oldest has been a dream since she was a toddler -- follows rules, always polite, doesn't throw many tantrums (and when she does, I know she's getting sick or needs a nap). My younger child though has a temper problem. He gets insanely angry over things that I just don't understand, like the other day when he couldn't get his sock off and it threw him into a rage. And he constantly pushes boundaries and limits. But he's a good kid really. I don't understand him a lot of times, but I don't really think of him as a "problem" kid. Except for the anger, I think his need to push limits will serve him well as an adult. I worry more about my older child, because she's so much like I was at that age. Everything is black-and-white, there is no middle ground. The teacher said you can't go to the bathroom without asking, but other people were talking and you're also not allowed to interrupt, so you pee your pants. That kind of thing. It's been difficult for me to get past that as an adult, and I worry she'll have the same struggle.

    my son is like that. one day he was jumping around the room and i asked him to stop hopping. he continued to do it. i told him to go to his room and he could come out when he was ready to listen and he replied 'mom, i *heard* you, but you said hopping and i'm not hopping, i'm skipping.' lol.

    Well, I we had parent teacher conferences today... so, yes. :laugh:

    I love my daughter to pieces, but her stubbornness and slightly anti-social streak can be difficult to manage- at home and at school. I have to remind myself that she's smart, funny, creative, and sweet as can be (when she wants to be). I'd say that she's going to be just fine as an adult- but she's exactly like me- and the jury is still out on me! :bigsmile:

    for me, the one who never stops talking is the same one as the one who never stops moving. he's not the problem kid. :)

    I have a two year old who asks "why" every thirty seconds...I finally just started answering "you tell me, why?"

    My husband answers with its a funny shape letter with a tail. Which ever one of the four children has asked the question stands there with there mouth open for a few minutes while thinking about what he has said :laugh: It is funny to watch.

    I don't have a problem kiddo, i just have 4 children that like to challenge me throughout the day. There are days where things get bad but tomorrows another day & that is what i remind myself

    Same here. I have two girls 10 and 3 and their mouths never stop. My oldest has ADHD - sometimes I can just feel the energy pouring off of her. It can get exhausting. Were working on slowing down, breathing and thinking it through. hehe My son is 6 and is always flopping around in the floor and playing spiderman. Hes really quiet though and almost always tells on himself if he did something i didnt catch.
